Return Key & Go Button Failure

[Guest]

I am using IE 6 with SP2 installed. I am able to enter a web address (e.g.
www.yahoo.com) in the Address Bar. When I press the "Enter" key or click the
"Go" button, the address is highlighted. However, IE6 fails to go to the
selected web address.

Alternatively, I am able to reach the web address by typing the abbreviated
address (e.g. yahoo) and simultaneously pressing the "Ctrl" and "Enter" keys.

This is a new problem arising months after the successful installation of
SP2. I have re-installed SP2, but it has not rectified the problem. Please
help!

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-015
Vulnerability in Windows Explorer Could Allow Remote Code Execution
(908531)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx has
been revised to v1.2 to reflect the issues in KB918165.
From the FAQ section:
"On Tuesday, April 25, Microsoft will issue a targeted re-release of
the MS06-015 update."


Now may not be the time to learn Regedit.
I suggest you use a .reg file already done for the purpose.

Unzip it, extract the .reg file to a folder, right-click it and select
Merge and confirm when asked.

I have also experienced this problem. I think it is associated with the
recent Security Update (KB908531). I restored to a date prior to this and
several other bundled updates, then installed the updates one at a time. The
problem occured immediately after installation of KB908531. The same update
disabled the backup tab in the Windows XP backup utility.
